一、上海高通半导体有限公司诉卡尔康公司(QUALCOMMIncorporated)等侵害商标权及不正当竞争纠纷案
Shanghai Gaotong Semiconductor Co., Ltd. v. Qualcomm Incorporated et al.(case of dispute over infringement upon trademark rights and unfair competition)
[核心术语] 企业名称;不正当竞争;使用时间;行业领域;经营地域
[Key Terms] corporate names; unfair competition; time of use; sectors or fields; business areas
【争议焦点】使用时间的先后只是判断是否构成擅自使用他人企业名称的不正当竞争行为的因素之一。
[Disputed Issues] The time of use is only one of factors to judge whether an act constitutes an unfair competition of using enterprise names of others without permission.
【案例要旨】在司法实践中,判断被诉使用行为是否构成擅自使用他人企业名称的不正当竞争行为,一般应从以下几个方面予以考量:一是使用时间的先后,即被诉使用行为是否发生在他人之后;二是所属行业领域的差异,即被诉使用行为的经营范围与他人是否相同;三是主要经营地域的异同,即被诉使用行为的主要经营地域与他人是否交集。由此可知,使用时间的先后只是判断是否构成擅自使用他人企业名称的不正当竞争行为的考量因素之一,除此之外,还需综合考量其他两个因素。
[Case Summary] In judicial practice, the following aspects shall be taken into account in the determination whether the alleged use behavior constitutes an unfair competition of using enterprise names of others without permission. The first is the time sequence of use, that is, whether the alleged usage behavior occurs after the use of others. The second is the differences between or among industries or fields involved, that is, whether the business scope for the alleged usage behavior is the same to that of others. The third is similarities and differences of main business areas, that is, whether the main business area for the alleged usage behavior intersects with that of others. It can be seen that the time sequence of use is only one of considerations in the determination whether the alleged act constitutes an unfair competition of using any other enterprise' name without permission. In addition, another two factors shall be taken into account on a comprehensive basis.
